Research Solutions

Clinical
research is becoming more complex. With this increase in complexity comes a
demand for systems that allow processes to be more streamlined.

Requests for site
information and documents are consistent across all studies regardless if they
are from a sponsor, CRO, or a collaborative group.

The amount of
work required to action requests for site documentation in a timely manner
requires a significant amount of time and resources. There are systems available to help
streamline these processes allowing a one stop shop for sponsor, CROs, and
collaborative groups. The advantage of
these systems is that they ensure the information can be downloaded when they
require it and are not waiting for busy sites to respond to their requests.

Site Docs
Portal is a commercially available system.
I will discuss this system and the impact it has had in our site’s
processes.
